To clarify: these are $9 ea if you only buy less than five. After that, they’re $6.50 ea (5 count) $5.50 (10 count), or $4.50 ea. (20 count). So, 120 costs $540.00.

[@JabsFamily]

120 Holliday, 100 Skenes plus tax is $1200

[@AshMorton]

@@JabsFamilyI hear you, but you did say they were $9 a card. I was just giving the breakdown for those unfamiliar with Topps Now products.

[@kevincharity1930]

Might as well light money on fire. Damn

[@OrangeJoe27]

Hey, Just an FYI, The Holiday card had a PR of 12,151 and the Skenes PR was 24,463 The odds were not in your favor. I was rooting for you to get something but had my doubts.

[@23ofSeptember]

I splurged on the Ohtani 40/40 cards and struck out. Bought 20 cards. 2 of them had scratches from the printer or cutter. Splurged on the 50/50 cards too. Will get them in a couple weeks I guess. Topps probably going to put out Ohtani 55/60 cards or 55/55 cards or whatever too in the next couple days just to devalue the others and make more money. I plan on selling them together in order to get some of my money back.

[@ericcraig3875]

I love SP NOW cards that document historical baseball events.

[@edwinbjorgen3790]

At least you got some good kindling.

[@michaelfarrell2617]

I bought 1 of each of those cards when they were available at a fraction of the price, and got the same amount of parallels as you (none). Rule of thumb you don't need to be a psychic to tell when there's gonna be a big PR on certain cards, always buy low on those (1 card) and high on ones you think the PR will be on the lower side to better your odds at a parallel. I think if more people treated Topps Now this way, the High PR one's wouldn't be so INSANE in the amounts being printed, and would make the base cards value higher and in turn the parallels as well.

[@ericzdrojewski137]

There are over 43,000 of those Jackson Hollidays. There are almost 25,000 of the Skenes. I wouldn’t count on those cards to be worth too much in the future. I hope I’m wrong.

[@MitsurugiW]

Parallels aren't inserted with the base cards. This video could have been much shorter.

[@jessicalightner7947]

Where were the Gunnar Henderson cards?

[@taraingalls3440]

The only way I’ve ever gotten a numbered card from Topps Now is buying a few singles of a player.

[@gamblingguru2235]

Why is it the same card over and over? Ur crazy in a good way jabs haha

[@brianware8934]

Card like that are extremely hard to get parallels given how many were printed. I got 4 parallels out of 6 5-card lots I bought. One was an orange /5 Wyatt Langford. Print run was like, 1500 I think. Gotta pick and choose. Big cards like Skenes, I’ll get one and don’t care about parallels. A Jonatan Clase call up card (M’s fan), bought 5 and got a blue /49.

[@RandomRET-hv9pn]

Woah that’s a lot of topps now cards!

[@terrymyers699]

Hell, I'll take those 10ct snap tite holders.. I go through them like crazy. I need a Skenes card for my "Local Boy Done Good" collection since he's from southern Orange County, about 25 miles south of me.

[@chadhopkins8508]

Thanks for the video, Erik. Sorry no short prints!

[@ebscoHOSTpub]

I got a Christian Scott debut ToppsNOW card /5, the parallels/SP are usually right on top. I love the Living Set and Throwback Thursday cards. Got lucky with a few SP. Sold an Acuna SP, Joe Mauer, and Adley Rutchsman. Sold all 4 for like 60 dollars more than what I paid for.

[@alexgauthier2448]

Bobby Dalbec is the epitome of a AAAA guy

[@MitsurugiW]

I love Topps Now cards. I bought lots of them. The number of parallels remains the same regardless of the print run. So when you buy the cards that everyone else did your chances of a parallel is really small. Ive gotten lots of parallels over the years including multiples for the same base card. I bought five beekeeper cards and got one of the subject short prints. Super lucky. Btw the parallels are always packed in separate containers from the base. They used to mark them on your packing slip but now they seem to be inserted randomly by hand.

[@MrChadstthomas]

I got the bee SP too and was my first time getting anything but base. I got the Ryan M Grand Slam and that was a 800 print run, still all base, Topps now is wild

[@michaelmatthews5941]

I think the best topps now product to come out recently were those 2024 road to opening day topps now packs. The checklist is very minimal and is loaded with star players and rookies

[@edwinlee4536]

I got one purple in my 5 card purchase. Now I realize I was very lucky.

[@andrewxyz24]

What the heck my Paul Skenes Topps Now debut isn’t arriving until the end of June

[@brywar85]

Same

[@SSgtBigSwole]

I was able to snag the paul skenes relic card #25 or lower!

[@GameICY]

The most I ever bought of one was 120 Topps 1981 Mike Schmidt razor sharp lot for $45

[@davidheaton5765]

This is peak hobby insanity.

[@kenosabi]

Well it's about to die out as people struggle to eat and gas their car.

[@lifegood3322]

I don't know exactly how much these cost but I've seen some real banger packs with multiple autographs opened! I did buy the Pirates set and got one Henry Davis card /99! Poor Henry! Hope he gets it together! 😂 Thanks for the variety Jabs!

[@Demicron]

This is straight up gambling lol

[@doubles259]

Hmm 🤔. I don’t get this.

[@Surprise623er]

What part?

[@shanebastable7042]

Yeah I bought 20 Jackson Holliday Topps Now cards hoping to get one numbered, but the print run was about 48k so that puts it to 1 numbered card to every 500 cards. Kinda tough but it’s crazy that you didn’t get 1 out of 120

[@scottyarm]

Enjoyed the video, regardless of the outcome Erik! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@sandralemme1773]

I purchased Soto in Yankee uniform and got a numbered card 😊

[@Szeeusz]

Basically this is like playing scratchers😂

[@Josh-thebaseballkid]

We are looking for the 2 best rookies Gunner Henderson😂 and Paul Skenes

[@wyattking4486]

It really just depends who you target on topps now. I buy 5 packs of mariners and it’s about a 1:2 chance I get a parallel unless it’s a Julio. Lowest I’ve pulled is a J.P Crawford /5

[@Packstothemax59]

Did you buy the Paul skenes debut baseball card from topps now

[@hunterbuescher7452]

Love those Paul skenes and Jackson Holliday rookie cards

[@krishdasgupta7313]

When I order a single or 3 pack - I have had good luck with a parallel.

[@tylersplattstoesser6670]

Acuna Jr. done for the season with ACL injury.

[@高橋あっな]

No defended.I am just curious why u need so much same cards?

[@高橋あっな]

Oh,thx!!

[@timmagdaleno8762]

Erik I dont see Topps Now as an investment. I bought 20 in 2018 of Ohtani/Ruth and all were graded PSA 10. Now they are selling for about $100. Less than what the grading cost. Wish I’d know you were planning on these purchases I woulda shared that with you.

[@thomasmadden8433]

it depends on the run some are definitely worth more than others

[@markthompson7503]

I pulled a Blue #/49 James Outman from a 5 pack of James Outman Debut Topps Now last year and flipped it for $100. Now he is in the minor leagues and terrible. Topps Now is worth the gamble one way or the other but from experience Topps Now are very hard to get a PSA 10 in.

[@charleshack2114]

I guess i got lucky i bought 2 Skenes and got a numbered card out of 49

[@TR-ry1xv]

I will take 1 of each for my PC! Shipped to MD if you have a number in mind or a posting somewhere.

[@jenkinsrr1515]

I want any of the Shane Gillis ones. I missed that one.

[@kurt847]

That’s why they sell cheap on eBay. People do what you did and the blow them out on eBay.

[@LukasBane]

Ouch, jackson Holiday. Good luck, hope he turns out.

[@andrew7816]

I got a Wyatt Langford /5 after his first homer.

[@StevenCasper-o4n]

JHC don’t look good for the little set of ten I bought.

[@benspringer8783]

No Jared Jones?

[@randyworden5232]

Frankly I'm disappointed that Topps didn't think to reward you with something in recognition of your large purchase. I have made a few Topps Now buys on a limited basis on smaller releases and been satisfied. Quality seems good. And those jewelcases should be illegal. They join my Wander Franco and Julio Urias cards in the trash. I hope we as channel members can buy a few of these from you to cut your losses.

[@kenosabi]

Or you could just not spend 1200+ on topps now cards lol.

[@n0lanv0id]

It's because those cards were wayyyy in demand and they printed 10's of 1000's of them. Odds of a parallel are pretty slim on these young rookies.

[@vinnycgaz1]

Damn u got robbed

[@lajabonilla3853]

And topps did it again 💀 i feel ur pain my men

[@stevewaldorf5020]

1 Skenes(or Holiday) and a hobby pack as a $15 whatnot offer?

[@JabsFamily]

Great idea!

[@Yankeesfan1Sham]

It’s my birthday tomorrow!

[@JabsFamily]

Happy Birthday!

[@BruceSpearnock-ie8ho]

Lol. I bought two, just two, of each.

[@stevezeppieri]

DANG IT.

[@radubataran4835]

Seems like a waste of $1200, but hey what do i know……

[@spencerdrake6871]

I got my buddy into topps now a couple years ago and we woild always prder wt the same time. That mofo would always get s number parallel. He got a wander franco debut /5. Jeremy Pena world series mvp /5 and they stupid ass aaron judge 62 hr card numbered /10

[@ericcraig3875]

Holliday sucks. Just a nepo baby that they tried to will into greatness. He shouldn't have been top 50. Gunner and Skenes are awesome.

[@lannydante9390]

I find the topps now design boring and mundane- show some friggin personality!

[@Branden_Carlo]

Yikes

[@ericcraig3875]

Unbelievable, no SPs.

[@juliang219]

Not first

[@wiggiag]

Gg

[@randyworden5232]

I am wondering if Paul Skenes isn't home collecting pictures of Sofia!!! She's a pretty lady and very sweet as well.

[@JabsFamily]

Thanks! I tell her all the time how lucky I am. She’s a bombshell.

[@randyworden5232]
